Creating a Shared Cinematic Universe for your Music
Welcome to another episode of the NEW podcast I'm testing called The Band Dad Q&A Podcast.
In this episode I take a question from Joey from Indiana about how to apply the idea of a "share cinematic universe" popularized by companies like Marvel, DC, and Legendary to a band.
Intro/Outtro music graciously contributed by the legend, himself, Brandon Hart. Check him out on Spotify! https://open.spotify.com/album/5wxDNyQnmCyNKIxxmpnr6C
Introducing The Band Dad Q&A Podcast
This is a pilot episode for a Q&A style podcast I'm creating where I take audience submitted questions about the crossection of art and entrepreneurship and give my ideas about how you can leverage the tools of the modern media and marketing ecosystem to create sustaining businesses around your art.

!Understanding Social Media w/ Alex McGinnis of 10 & 8 Management
Something that is still of for debate is which styles of content tend to perform well on which platforms and how to position your content so that you're building value on one platform, but also directing traffic to others. This is one topic, among many, that I discussed with Alex McGinnis of 10 & 8 Management in this episode.
This is MOST likely going to be a 2 part series, with part 2 being focused on prioritizing royalties and how to make sure you're getting paid the money you, as an artist, are owed.
Don’t Hire a PR Agent
This is an audio recording of an article called "Don't Hire a PR Agent" which discusses that idea of IF/WHEN to hire a PR agent and how you can use storytelling to dramatically scale up your results.
Live Shows, Touring, and the Role of Promoters w/ Peter Weir of Standby Records
A disclaimer: I don't know anything about Peter. I don't know anything about a LOT of the people I talk with. My conversations with my audience members live in a sort of vacuum where I judge them solely on the ideas they BRING to that conversation. It's my goal to give people the opportunity to display their ideas in an arena that is relatively unbiased, but as to whether or not those people actually embody the sort of professionalism and decency I think should be required of everyone, I have no idea.
This is ALSO not an endorsement of Standby Records. After doing a bit of research, I've read several cases where they were accused of being involved in dubious accounting practices that ended up hurting the very artists they were supposed to support. I'm not passing judgement either way, but I will encourage anyone who's considering signing with Standby to exercise EXTRA caution.
